VF-20 (PCGS).A generally well centered example, only the lower right obverse and lower reverse borders are trivially off the flan. Detail is fairly bold for a VF of this type, all major design elements appreciable despite some softness at upper left obverse and lower left reverse. Generally dark charcoal-copper surfaces are rough and granular overall, yet with lighter medium brown to some of the devices that enhances the appearance. Although moderately corroded, the splasher retains some warm brassy-gold color atop the crown. On this reverse die, the A in QVIESCSAT is punched over either a V or an inverted A.PCGS# 42.
